2002 targa restoration project

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi all, 

A possible proposition. 

I have a 1972 blue 2002 targa in need of lots of TLC. Mainly bodywork (all 

usual targa issues). The car has been in storage for 10 years and is 

partially dismantled due to a failed restoration attempt (what was i 

thinking when i looked at the car all those years ago and thought 'i can 

restore this' - it was always destined to fail!). I've had some quotes from 

various 'well known' BMW 2002 restorers and the potential cost was 

astronomical. (i could buy 3 already restored cars for the cost of restoring 

my one). 

But i DO want to get MY car back to at least a road worthy MOT'ed runner. 

So my thoughts. 

Is there any home DIY restorers out there that have the space, time, skill, 

ability and desire to take on my car as a restoration project? I would of 

course be willing to pay the person for their skills, materials and whatever 

is needed, but hopefully at a cost that is lower than 'professional' 

restorers and acceptable to all parties. There will be no time stipulations, 

so it could be restored over an extended period (its been waiting over 10 

years so another few wouldn't make much difference). If any serious 

parties are interested please let me know asap and we can discuss details. 

As a last resort i may break the car, but I'd rather sell the wife. If anyone 

has any thoughts, please let me know. regards Erasmo
